The use of new technologies in school classrooms is now a reality thanks to the interactive whiteboard developed by the UAB Teaching and Multimedia group. Trials of the equipment and methods developed by the researchers have been very successful.

A team of UAB researchers is studying magnetic levitation, a phenomenon made possible by using superconductors and which has many technological applications. Researchers have studied how to improve the safety and stability of devices developed using this technique.

The Animal Health Research Centre (CReSA) is leader in the study of diseases affecting animals such as swine fever, mad-cow disease and bird flu. The UAB and the Catalan Institute for Food and Agricultural Research and Technology have signed an agreement making CReSA the only centre in Catalonia with the necessary characteristics to carry out research in these kinds of infectious diseases.

A team of geographers and biologists of the UAB have developed the first Digital Climatic Atlas of the Iberian Peninsula. The atlas, which is free to consult on the Internet, contains a large amount of data and provides extremely detailed and precise maps, making it a useful tool for the study of climate change.
